Chapter 5 - The battle

Adrian turned on his heels and headed back towards the Command deck, the ship shook again and he heard his name over the loud speaker "Lieutenant McCloy Needed at Gun Port 5--Lieutenant McCloy Needed at Gun Port 5" There were so many questions without answers, how had this ship approached without notice? Why were they attacking? There is nothing particularly valuable aboard for raiders and the ship is a standard carrier. No documents had been signed yet so what gain was there in attacking?

He opened the panel and pressed the intercom button requesting access from the Ambassador, It was silent, he spoke again and no reply. He quickly entered in the pass code which slid open the heavy door to the room and much to his fear and dismay, the room, was empty...
